MS Sans Serif

B

Barry Karas

Even though I have Windows XP with SP2, I do not have this font: MS Sans
Serif. This font is supposed to be on this version, in fact all versions of
Windows. Yet I do not have it. Why? How would I put it on MS Word?

Thank you,

Barry Karas

It should be there, but it may not show up in many applications because
it is not a scalable font, e.g. a truetype font.

MS Word works with scalable fonts only and MS Sans Serif
is a bitmap font which are non scalable.

On XP you should have 'Microsoft Sans Serif' which is
a True Type Font. Sizes 8 and 10 appears to be taken
from the original MS Sans Serif. All other sizes got
new, horrible design...
